VSS Monitoring V 1.2 L.X-N-AF - 10G 1x2 Distributed Filter Tap

The V 1.2 10 Gigabit Distributed Filter Tap allows Tapping, Aggregation, and Filtering of one Inline network or two SPAN 10 Gigabit networks using its ports for security and performance. Four LC connectors provide network input. Each of its two XFP 10 Gigabit ports is available for output of aggregated or non-aggregated traffic allowing security; network monitoring; or forensics tools unfettered access to high-speed links. All ports are configurable as SPAN inputs or monitor outputs. XFP ports on inline builds are also I/O configurable.

This device enables local management via a serial console and remote management via Telnet, HTTP, and SNMP. A filter option enables screening of the monitoring traffic to ensure zero packet-loss during aggregation as well as increased input capacity. Filtering also allows traffic to be distinguished according to source and destination MAC/IP address as well as by specific protocols, such as HTTP, VoIP, etc. SNMP traps enable user notification of port status, user login, and management configuration changes. A custom filter offset allows monitoring devices targeted at specific protocols to view tunneled traffic, e.g. GTP tunnels, to view only the traffic of interest.

Redundant power supplies allow seamless transitions between power systems and maximize uptime. All VSS managed devices support field firmware updates for additional features and performance enhancements.
